ALTHOUGH I
HAVE COLLECTED
only
a handful
of
further
examples
since
the
publication
of
JozefJans-
sen's article on ancient
Egyptian
names of
dogs
in
1958'
and
my
own
supplement
in
196
I,2
these
additions
extend
the
chronological scope
of
the
previous reper-
tory
very considerably.
In view of the fact
that
dogs
generally
shared
the
same
names as
humans,
Janssen
considered
it
strange
that there seemed to
be
no
evi-
dence later
than
the Nineteenth
Dynasty.
The
sound-
ness
of that
expectation
is
now confirmed
by
three
items
in the
following
brief
list. I have continued
the
previous sequence
of
numbers
and,
wherever
possible,
have referredboth to that
sequence
and
to Hermann
Ranke's Die Agyptischenersonennamenand II (Gliick-
stadt,
I935/52),
abbreviated PN
I,
II;
an asterisk is
prefixed
in the latter case
(enclosed
in
parenthesis
f the
comparison
is
incomplete
or
uncertain).

As Miriam Lichtheim
points
out
(Journal

[1947]
p.
178),
this
situla can
hardly
be dated
earlier
than the
Twenty-sixth Dynasty
and
is
probably
later.
The
border
of stars at
the

favors
the second

as does
the
likelihood that the
situla came
from
one of
the

tombs.

This
monument
is also
interesting
because
it
represents
a
man
holding
two
monkeys
and
three
baboons8
on the
end
of leashes
in addition
to the
dog.
The
baboons
are
similarly
labeled
with
what
appears
to
be
names,
but
the names-as
far
as one
can
make them
out-are
very
odd:
one of
them seems
to
read

which
may
contain the name of a

In
every case the interpretation remains highly uncertain,
and
the label
of
the
man
who controls
the
animals is
equally
curious;
he is
an
imy-r
m;w overseer of
lions.
Only
one
of
the names listed
here
(no. 69)
describes
an attribute of
the
dog
himself:
it
probably
means
One who is fashioned
as an arrow.
Although

7I
is
not attested as
a
human
name,
the
first
part
of it
is so
like
examples 7,
8,
and
70
that it should
perhaps
be un-
derstood
as a double
appellation,
'Ikn/Ht.
The name
Hti is well attested for
people
in
the Old
Kingdomos
and
'Ikn(i)
might
be an
ethnicon,
referring
to the district
of
the Second Cataract
in Nubia.
The
present
supplement
adds two more
theophoric
names to the
very
few that
have
previously
been noted.
No such names are included
among
the
forty-two
that
antedate the
Middle
Kingdom,
and
only
one
(S-'Ich,
no.
28)
has thus far been recorded
from the
Twelfth
Dynasty.
Is
it
only by
coincidence that
three
theo-
phoric
names occur
among
the thirteen that are
known
from the New
Kingdom
and
later?
They
include
two
examples
mentioning
divinities-rnti-m-nh
(no.

Anath Is a Defender and Kn-'Imn
(no. 77)
Amun

development-if
such
it can
be
called-seems
rather
surprising
if
one
considers
that
dogs
had
acquired
a
rather
pejorative
aspect
in addition to the
favorable one
they
had
always
enjoyed.
Their
fawning, cringing
nature was
repeat-
edly
attributed to
Egypt's
enemies,12
and
in
the
Nine-
teenth
Dynasty
nothing
could more
effectively express
the
submission of those enemies to Pharaoh's
rule

It
may
be no
accident
that the

should have been enlisted

attacking
the
Libyans,

dogs
were used
in
military operations

the

It
may
be no
accident
that the
dog
should have been enlisted
in
attacking
the
Libyans,
for
dogs
were used
in
military operations
through
the
Libyan
Desert as
early
as the
beginning
of the Middle
Kingdom:

There is some evidence for the use of
dogs
against
other
foes,

This is either

in

both the

Although
pet
cats were
represented
from the Twelfth
Dynasty
on-
ward,32
they
are not
otherwise known
to
have
re-
ceived personal names. One New Kingdom cat was so
highly
regarded by
her
master,
the
Memphite High
Priest
Dhwty-ms,
a
son of
Amenophis
III,
that
he
had
a
limestone
sarcophagus
made
for
her,
but
in
spite
of this
very special
honor,
she
is
only
identified
as
The Cat
